What I ment by Robespierre wasn't the best politican was, he wasn't like Danton, Mirabeu or Talleyrand. True, all of them were lying, dishonest, thieves, (expecially the last two) but they did manage to keep a country together...sort of. I should have been more specific, true most of the Convention was made of lawyers. The committee of Public Saftey has 8/12 lawyers.
Usually the way its portraied in historybooks, the stubborn one is SJ. So why did he want to compromise? That has allways struck me as strange.
